Shingen wins the initiative and the advance continues. The central cavalry unit charges against the archers, who can not withstand the impetus of the samurais.

In response to this threat, Naomasa sends his own Red Devils cavalry. The battle between cavalry units is not very decisive, but the second unit charges against ashigaru and eliminate a unit. The teppo units continue softening the left flank.

La delgada línea roja / The thick red line

Las mejores tropas de ambos ejércitos combaten a muerte.Best troops of both armies fight to death.

Keeping the initiative of the game, Shingen sent several samurai units to fight and routed a unit of ashigaru Ii family. Takeda ashigaru also charged the Red Devils cavalry (a bone too hard). Unfortunately, the cavalry did not receive the orders properly and get stuck on the flanks.

Naomasa himself and his hatamoto jumped the fence and charged Takeda cavalry, forcing them to retreat.

For the first time in the game, the Red Devils took the lead. Naomasa´s hatamoto continued pressure on Takeda cavalry, the cavalry on the right flank broke the ashigaru unit and ashigaru with teppo finished off the ronin and left very hurted the left flank cavalry.

Seeing that defeat was very close, Shingen attempted to reorganize the cavalry, his last hope. But, again, failed. However, foot samurai unit charged the militia... But they weren´t able to disperse the farmers!

Los arcabuces son muy efectivos si disponen de turnos suficientes para disparar. Quizás una tercera unidad... :-)------------The arcabuses are very effective if you have enough turns to shoot. Perhaps a third unit... :-)

Es muy importante avanzar con decisión y no titubear. Es muy difícil maniobrar, así que una vez decidas tu estrategia no la cambies en mitad de la partida porque será un desastre.------------It is very important to move forward with determination and don´t hesitate. It is very difficult to maneuver, so once you decide something don´t change the strategy in the middle of the game because it will be a disaster.

Si Jesús hubiese conseguido reorganizar a las caballerías de los flancos el resultado podría haber sido muy distinto, pero tuvo una suerte increíblemente mala con las tiradas.------------If Jesus had succeeded in reorganizing the cavalry on the flanks the result might have been different, but he had an incredibly bad luck with the rolls.Sigo fallando en el despliegue... Tengo que pensarlo bien antes de desplegar porque luego es un lío reorganizar las tropas.------------I keep failing in the deployment ... I have to think it carefully before deploying, because is a mess to reorganize the troops later.
